#DreamsAreTangibleGoals I am hiphop. 40 years old, my idols became peers.. Everything about the latest release of hiphop icon duo is a jolt to the culture. We have life, as find myself creating a new #hashtag #NRO (Now Rocking Out) just because i was inspired to hear some new Bald Head Slick. combined with Dj Premier production. Today is great day for us Hiphop, you and I, this is first material release since Guru passed away on April 19, 2010.
From the two release singles Bad Name & Family & Loyalty, we were hooked, Classic with dopest intro, some crowd paricipation, chanting, “ Gangstarr has got be the sure shot, and like that”, in the background different classic rotation. Man oh man I am already rocking. Let’s start the first record in Brownsville with MOP.. “Lights Out”. the joint is tough, loved how Fame went on the second verse. Track five What’s Real, after the second time it hit me, I loved the melodic combination of Gu’s first verse setting the tone to leaving it for Royce Da 5’9 destroy with certified street poetry on the hook Group Home.
Toward the end of the project Gu & Preem started talking you to school, starting with track 11 “So Many Rappers” is a joint that should be on rotation message for lol So Many Rappers, a solo effort showing Gu’s wittiness on the microphone. Next joint Business or Art featuring Talib Kweli is seriously is question that needs to be address. Maybe it’s my age, maybe i know how hard my guys work, the countless hours i have seen the greats do to produce the records we enjoy.
At this stage of the project I can’t wait to type this away. I truly have something to say, records “Bring it Back Here” , quick joint with Gu rocking out, fading into" “One of the Best Yet” featuring my OG’s Big Shug singing setting us with the “Take Flight’, ft. Big Shug & Freddie Fox who went ham.. Glad to hear Bumpy Knuckles spaz out on record.
In conclusion last record “Bless The Mic”, a prophetic joint, Premier had under wraps. I wanted to absoirb this project and after the second listen, this joint is going to continue to grow will be in your rotation and added to your playlist and once again RIP GURU AND FLOWERS TO DJ PREMIER WHILE YOU HERE.. YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST YET.
